SICK Lector63x image-based code reader

Click2Contact

The SICK Lector63x image-based code reader is a 2 MP reader developed in a compact and flexible design. It reads codes at various distances and speeds, including small codes at high production speeds, long-range identification or reading over wide conveyor belts.

The design of the optical concept supports usage of a wide range of lenses, from simple small S-mount lenses to high-quality C-mount lenses. For all compact lenses there is a unique set of ring lights — each fits to cover the optimum viewing angle for the different lenses. The ring lights are easy to mount without cabling and are equipped with a filter holder to make it easier to switch out the filters. The optics can be covered by hoods to meet the IP67 rating.

Features include simple operation and maintenance, with function buttons, LEDs and aiming laser enabling quick installation. It is designed to fit into SICK’s 4Dpro concept, which helps ensure easy integration in surrounding networks and compatibility to other identification technologies from SICK. When operating, users receive instant read-feedback via both a visual indication and acoustic feedback signals. Images and reading data are viewed in the Sensor Integration Unit panel, which enables users to derive trends, make analysis and oversee daily work more efficiently. A MicroSD card simplifies device cloning and reduces exchange time.

The code reader is suitable for a variety of applications: identification in manual parcel sorting or automated sorting systems in CEP and retail; serialisation and end-of-line aggregation for the food or pharmaceutical industries; long-range identification for traceability in automotive; and high-resolution code reading in electronics and solar markets.
